Boom!
The spear shattered, but its attack did not cease. It continued to push forward, bearing down on Zhou Yan.
This sight caused Zhou Yan's pupils to contract, his eyelids twitching.
"It's over, I'm dead this time."
Zhou Yan's face turned ashen, his expression vacant.
He hadn't expected the Tri-horned Rhinoceros to be so powerful.
His full-force strike was unable to do anything to the opponent.
His long saber broke, and he raised his left arm, attempting to block the unicorn rhinoceros.
But soon, he felt his arm go numb, his tiger's mouth split open, and the precious saber in his hand flew out.
"No!"
Zhou Yan let out a cry of utter despair.
However, it was all too late.
The unicorn rhinoceros was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, it charged to his front.
"It's finished!"
In an instant, Zhou Yan's eyes widened, his mind went blank, and he felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar.
He knew he was going to die!
Hiss!
The next moment, a gust of wind rushed towards him, the unicorn rhinoceros's massive body was mere inches away, its sharp horn almost touching his neck.
"Don't kill me!"
at the critical moment, panic flickered in Zhou Yan's eyes, and he quickly begged for mercy.
He didn't want to die.
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing Zhou Yan's plea, the unicorn rhinoceros hesitated.
"Don't kill me. As long as you don't kill me, I'll agree to anything."
Zhou Yan said quickly.
To save his life, he cast all reservations aside.
"Roar!"
The unicorn rhinoceros let out an angry roar, its bull-like eyes fixed on Zhou Yan, filled with intense hatred.
"Uh..."
Zhou Yan was slightly stunned, unsure of what had angered the creature.
"This fierce beast actually understands human speech?"
Zhou Yan furrowed his brow, his heart filled with surprise.
Roar!
However, at this moment, a world-shattering beast roar echoed from the depths of the beast forest.
This sound carried with it a strong killing intent.
Instantly, deafening roars echoed in all directions.
These beast roars were filled with intense venom and animosity.
Amidst the roars, there was also a hint of excitement and greed.
From all directions, various fierce birds and beasts began to stir.
"This is bad!"
Zhou Yan's expression changed. He suddenly thought of something and quickly turned to look.
He saw that in the distance, dark clouds rolled, and the wind howled. A leopard, entirely black, was slowly approaching.
This leopard was four to five meters tall, its entire body covered in dark scales, its eyes blood red, like a crescent moon.
With every step it took, the ground trembled slightly.
"Bloodthirsty Leopard!"
Zhou Yan gasped.
Bloodthirsty Leopard, a fourth-tier fierce beast, its strength comparable to a peak-stage Xiantian realm martial artist.
Moreover, the most crucial point was that Bloodthirsty Leopards had a keen sense of smell, capable of distinguishing the scent of spiritual herbs, demon cores, and blood.
Therefore, the appearance of a Bloodthirsty Leopard was bound to trigger a beast tide.
"It's over, I'm dead."
Zhou Yan's lips trembled, his face contorted.
He had intended to enter the forest to hunt and acquire resources to strengthen himself.
But unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped in, he encountered a fatal blow.
"Hmph! How dare a mere ant intrude upon my territory?"
However, at this moment, another ancient voice rang out.
Immediately, an old man in grey robes flew over from the horizon.
"Hmm? It's him!"
Zhou Yan's eyes widened suddenly.
The old man in grey robes had silver hair, carried a long bow on his back, was short and stout, with sunken cheeks and a bulbous nose.
This person was none other than the Zhou family's retainer: Old Zhao.
"You little brat, it's you!"
Upon seeing Zhou Yan, Old Zhao's expression immediately turned ferocious, killing intent erupting from his eyes.
This fiend had killed his grandson in the Zhou Manor back then and had also stolen the treasure chest, causing him heavy losses.
Today, it was time to kill this beast and avenge his grandson.
"Heh heh, I should have known."
Zhou Yan's face showed bitterness.
In the Zhou family, everyone knew Old Zhao.
Clearly, this Bloodthirsty Leopard was also raised by Old Zhao.
No wonder the Bloodthirsty Leopard went berserk as soon as Old Zhao appeared, wanting to kill him at all costs.
"Fiend, you court death!"
Old Zhao coldly shouted, stamped his right foot, and his body moved like lightning, instantly appearing before Zhou Yan and unleashing a palm strike.
Swish!
Zhou Yan was so terrified that his soul almost left his body. He scrambled and rolled, trying to escape.
Unfortunately, Old Zhao's cultivation was superior to his. With just one move, he captured Zhou Yan.
"Heh heh, you little brat, you can't escape after all."
Old Zhao grabbed Zhou Yan and sneered.
"You little scoundrel, today, I won't let you die so easily. I will toy with you slowly, making you taste a life worse than death."
As soon as he finished speaking, he fiercely kicked with his right leg, sending Zhou Yan tumbling to the ground.
Then, Old Zhao pinched a golden needle in one hand and inserted it into Zhou Yan's body.
Instantly, golden light flashed, and Zhou Yan's acupoints were sealed, preventing him from channeling his true qi, and his internal true qi dispersed.
"Little scoundrel, can you run now?"
Old Zhao said with a smirk, reaching out and fumbling over Zhou Yan's body.
Soon, he took out a jade token from Zhou Yan's embrace.
"Tsk tsk, little brat, you're quite lucky to have obtained a 'Refining Jade Token'."
Old Zhao rubbed the jade token in his hand, a look of joy appearing on his face.
"Refining Jade Token?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan's heart trembled.
This was a precious item for refining the physical body. After consuming it, one could cleanse the marrow, improve one's constitution, and increase their cultivation.
And Refining Jade Tokens could only be used by third-level martial artists.
"Haha... this jade token belongs to me!"
Old Zhao laughed heartily, his face filled with excitement.
Suddenly, at this very moment, a series of piercing wind-breaking sounds came from the depths of the forest, and countless fierce beasts rushed forward madly.
"What's going on?"
"Could it be that a treasure has appeared, which is why so many fierce beasts are swarming here?"
"Huh? Isn't this a Spirit Devouring Cat?"
"And also a Green-striped Wolf, an Iron-toothed Tiger..."
The number of fierce beasts in the forest grew, their eyes scarlet, pouncing on Old Zhao.
Among them, some ferocious and brutal beasts even opened their mouths to tear and swallow Old Zhao.
"Damn it!"
Old Zhao cursed inwardly, not daring to linger. He turned into an afterimage and vanished from the spot. Da Feng Novel Network.
The fierce beasts missed their target, spitting out blood, moaning continuously, and lying on the ground.
"Hiss..."
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yan's heart turned cold, and he couldn't help but gasp.
This Bloodthirsty Leopard's combat power was astonishing, comparable to a second-level Xiantian realm martial artist.
But now, under the siege of numerous fierce beasts, it was still injured and on the verge of death.
And him?
He was at the peak of the first level of the Xiantian realm and couldn't even withstand the Bloodthirsty Leopard, let alone these terrifying fierce beasts.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it.
Swish!
However, at this moment, a colossal creature traversed the void.
Its size was immense, eclipsing the sun.
"Awooo!"
Accompanied by a low growl, the Bloodthirsty Leopard seemed to fear this fierce beast and quickly retreated, clearing the path.
"This is a fourth-tier fierce beast, a Bloodthirsty Python?"
Upon clearly seeing the appearance of the fierce beast, Zhou Yan's face drastically changed.
Although the Bloodthirsty Python was a fourth-tier fierce beast, its combat power was extremely terrifying.
